Recently I had the doubtfull pleasure of attempting to install TranScript
on a Sun 3/160 running SunOS 3.5.  It would install itself, but after
doing so nothing would print: the terminal I had attached as a printer
just sat there, staring dully at me with its single eye. Only the last
file printed **before** installing transcript remained on the screen.

and has said so since midday yesterday.

If this is a well-known problem, could someone drop me a mail message with
a pointer to the solution?  If not, has anyone else suffered it?
